Keak Da Sneak Reportedly In Stable Condition After Being Shot

Bay Area rapper Keak da Sneak (born Charles Williams) was recently shot in the early morning hours on Monday (Aug. 21), the East Bay Timesreports.

The 39-year-old rapper was wounded at a 76 Gas Station in Richmond, Calif., on Carlson Boulevard and Imperial Way. Authorities arrived on the scene at around 5:30 A.M., according to Richmond Police Lt. Felix Tan.

Immediately after the incident, an ambulance took Williams to a local hospital where he was admitted to the trauma center. Reportedly, he's in stable condition while authorities await his recovery in efforts to help determine a potential suspect in the shooting.

“They’re working around the clock on this case,” Tan said on Monday evening. “We’re hoping to talk to the victim as soon as he gets recovered enough to speak with us.”

Nonetheless, authorities feel this was something that was planned, and Williams was indeed a target. However, this isn’t an isolated incident. The West Coast rapper was also shot in January and was forced to perform on stage two days later with a cane because of the injury.

“You’ll never understand how valuable life is until it flash before ya eyes,” he captioned an Instagram post. “Gods plan can never be determined by man an fa that I’m still livin an Can’t nothin on this earth stop me!”

Felicity Huffman was sentenced Friday afternoon (Sept. 13) to 14 days in prison, CNN reports. Judge Indira Talwani also tacked a $30,000 fine and 250 hours of community service onto Huffman's sentence. Additionally, she faces one year of supervised release.

“I am deeply ashamed of what I have done,” Huffman reportedly said to the judge. “At the end of the day I had a choice to make. I could have said 'no.'”

The 56-year-old also shared a conversation she had with her daughter concerning the college admission scandal. Huffman revealed that her daughter said, “I don’t know who you are anymore mom? Why didn’t you think I could do it on my own?” Huffman's child with actor William H. Macy has a learning disability, which prompted Huffman to engage in the scam in an effort to allot more time for her to take the SATs.

“I felt an urgency which built to a sense of panic that there was this huge obstacle in the way that needed to be fixed for my daughter’s sake,” she wrote in a previous statement. “As warped as this sounds now, I honestly began to feel that maybe I would be a bad mother if I didn’t do what Mr. Singer was suggesting.”

Huffman will report to prison in six weeks. In April 2019, the actress pled guilty to paying $15,000 to William "Rick" Singer to increase her daughter's SAT scores.

Friday (Sept. 13) marks the 25th anniversary of The Notorious B.I.G.'s masterpiece debut Ready To Die, and Stance sock company teamed up with hip-hop elite and friends of Biggie to celebrate the occasion.

On Thursday (Sept. 12) evening, Stance hosted a party at Nas' chicken and waffles restaurant Sweet Chick in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Guests were served cocktails and food themed after Biggie's lyrics (i.e. "escargot, my car go" and "a t-bone steak, cheese eggs"), while enjoying music spun by Statik Selektah, who unveiled a Jadakiss verse over Biggie's "Mo Money Mo Problems" that he says was from the song's original sessions. Attendees of the party included DJ Clark Kent, CJ Fly and Termanology, along with performances by Junior M.A.F.I.A. member Lil Cease and Tek of Smif-N-Wessun.

The evening also revealed a Stance and Sweet Chick "Sweet Chick Down To My Socks" collaborative sock, with a design similar to Biggie's beloved Coogi sweaters. The sock will be sold exclusively at Sweet Chick locations and online for $16.
